Deck overview

This deck is an Abzan combat-focused midrange deck led by Felothar the Steadfast. It leverages low-cost, high-toughness creatures and defenders to generate immense early battlefield presence, card advantage, and mana acceleration. Felothar turns defensive walls into formidable attackers by assigning combat damage equal to toughness and bypassing defender restrictions. The deck converts high toughness into massive card draw bursts by sacrificing 0-power creatures to draw cards equal to their toughness without discarding. Evasion enablers like Behind the Scenes and Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa allow your low-power creatures to slip past opposing defenses unblocked. The deck breaks parity through asymmetric board wipes such as Dusk // Dawn and Expel the Interlopers, which annihilate high-power opposing armies while leaving your defenders untouched. Massive stat multipliers like Unnatural Growth, Tower Defense, and Baldin, Century Herdmaster close games rapidly through lethal combat damage.
